@A myHSteam Member honestly i dont remember what i had. It was in 2015ish and i went through some...thangs (🍺) . I really dont remember alot from that time. But tbh i never had any knowledge or experience with hs before i had the surgery. After surgery i did the standard follow up care at first. But never maintained treatment. Maybe within the last year is when i truly started actually treating the condition and trying to learn about it . I actually wanna know what surgery i had to now πŸ˜‚. Ill have to ask the doc to look into my records and see if they can find out for me.

Oh that does not sound good. What surgery did you have? This all stemmed from an inscision and drain on my left, my right I&D took 11 months to heal and this one is at 5 months and due to have surgery with plastics soon, just waiting on the date to be set now

Wow that looks so painful. Im so sorry u are going through that hun. Where i had surgery under my arm keeps getting flares and the skin just keeps expanding. Now my right armpit is starting to do same thing. I had my surgery under the left arm. Its been miserable especially the smell and constant seeping

Thank you, it all started with one really nice inscision and drain, then had a flare lower down and boom. This all started in April. Just fed up of suffering pain on the daily, and to top it off now got another flare on the right side now. 😞
